the inspected component. The coupling between the membrane and the component requires a small quantity of water or couplant. The conformable wedge combines the acoustic performance of immersion technique with good coupling and low attenuation.

The MUSE, a portable ultrasonic imaging system, was developed for in-field inspections of light-weig

ht structures. The MUSE consists of a motor-driven manipulator, a water circulation system for the acoustic coupling and a portable ultrasonic flaw detector (USPC 3010). The MUSE provides images of internal defects (A-, B-,C- and D-scan).

sensitivity, the Telops TESTD-PT is the perfect tool for non-
destructive testing. With such high frame rates, it is even

to investigate highly conductive or diffusive materials.
